Just a monthly update from me…nothin’ much goin’ on but here’s a few things to blog about
Mom got in the mail a couple of APDT Rally-O awards from 2011 rankings – check
these out! My Mom is pretty darn proud of me getting these! It’s not easy doing Rally
on three legs – especially with all the S-I-T-S in it…gawd, I really despise sitting now!
Mom said I’m only going to play in Veterans Level now if I do any more Rally-O this
year…shorter courses and less sitting. I’ve been showing my age a bit since last fall and
my stamina level just ain’t what it used to be – so I am going to be competing less this
year and just taking in as much sunshine, lounging around and a little fun here and there when I’m up to it 🙂
In an effort to keep me as physically strong as possible, Mom bought me more PT tools –
this time, these funny little round objects she thinks I should stand on and hold still on
them. I showed her it isn’t TOO hard – she has to still place my feet on them – they are
small for me to step onto! But here I am after my third try at them! Tripawd Wyatt
impressed my Mom so much with his work on them, she thought I deserved some of
them too to add to my already full closet of PT equipment!
I competed in Wag It Games again last month…that is such a HOOT! We did our first
Sniff It competition – where we search for food scent in a container that is either hidden
in a pop up tent(many on course) or in a line of many containers that don’t have food
in them. I have a VERY good sniffer, I’m told by my Mom! I qualified in all four classes
of it! Then I also competed in No Need for Speed and Shadow Skills classes. I am very
close to finishing my Open titles in those classes…another trial and I should have those
finished up! I do love Wag It Games…so nice to have my very special own distinction
as a “Heart Dog” – meaning, I don’t have to do those stinkin’ S-I-T-S if I don’t wanna!
Because I’m a 3 legger, I am judged only against myself – not with other dogs. I can
still earn titles in the program! So cool 🙂
This photo isn’t a new one but it is of me doing Wag It Games No Need for Speed class –
one of the obstacles called the “270”…passing thru all 4 hoops making a 270 degree pattern.
Well, guess that is all from this neck of the woods!
‘Til next time, keep on hoppin’!

Good job Maggie moo! Does your mom put all those awards on the fridge? You’re lucky you have that white by your nose- it helps hide the gray!

Maggie I’m so glad you are having so much fun in agility retirement! You are lucky to have such a fun Mom! 🙂
Keep up the Terrierific work! 🙂
Shhhhhhhhhh….don’t tell everyone my secret Karen! That IS how I hide my gray hairs! One never really knows where my normal white starts and my aging white starts!
Thank you Aunti Gina & Charon….I AM having fun 🙂 You shoulda seen me doing my hoop exercises last night in the yard! Some of my old agility moves in fact! 🙂 But my energy spurts are much shorter now that I’m 12 years old…
Maggie
Well Maggie, you are the QUEEN of agility games and you deserve to take it easy. I think you need your very own royal throne that you can sit on and tell all the new kids how to do things the right way!
But man I can’t believe you were able to stand on those funny round things…I still have trouble doing that!!!
You are my Tripawd Goddess!!! xoxo
Dear Wyatt,
You are so right…I can tell all those youngin’s how to do all my ‘agility tricks’! My Mom is often telling me how smart I am 🙂 I deserve a throne! Yup I do! Thanks for mentioning that…I’ll put my order in with Mom!
Maggie
Wow mags, way to go!!! Oh and those three little balance balls are sooo cute!!! Chloe uses my big one on occasion (bought one for my own physical therapy of twice sprained ankle…).
Glad to see your still kickin cancer’s butt!!
